No CRS summary available for this bill.
This section prohibits individuals, entities, and commercial DNA testing services (i.e., entities providing genealogical or ancestry-related information based on an individual's DNA) from selling, offering for sale, or disclosing covered information—including aggregated covered information—to the People's Republic of China (PRC) or any entity owned, controlled, or influenced by the PRC. Covered information includes an individual's genetic information (as defined in the Genetic Information Nondiscrimination Act of 2008) originally acquired through the individual's use of a commercial DNA testing service. It authorizes the Federal Trade Commission to enforce these prohibitions as unfair or deceptive acts or practices, treating violations as equivalent to breaches of FTC rules under the agency's Magnuson-Moss rulemaking authority (15 U.S.C. 57a(a)(1)(B)).
